Famous Burger Joint STUNS Police And Firefighters With Shocking Announcement

Times of crisis always seem to unite those in the community. We have seen how people can come together quickly while watching the city of Houston cope with the massive amounts of damage done by recent rains.

One restaurant made a recent announcement that was sure to have first responders in the area smiling.

Whataburger announced it would offer free meals to uniformed first responders for their efforts in helping Houston wrestle with the massive floods that swept the city earlier in the week beginning Wednesday, April 20 at 12 p.m. through Saturday, April 23 at 12 a.m.

At least five people have died as a result of the historic flooding, and hundreds of others have been displaced. The flooding has even prompted concern about two dams in the area that appeared to be at risk.

Flooding is no joke, and it can happen swiftly. Water on roadways is often deeper than it appears, and it is especially easy to lose control of a vehicle in a flooded area.

One news crew happened to be at the right place at the right time and helped rescue a disoriented man who drove into flood waters after thinking he was driving over a puddle.

First responders are always there to help out at a moment’s notice to lend a helping hand to those in need. They were greatly needed in Houston, as experts say that around 240 billion gallons of water fell on the area.

A free meal is the least we can do for those who go over and above to help others in times of distress.
